A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 240: Women’s Hearts Are Hard to Predict

After putting away the gem replicator, Leon left the cabin and went to the cave.

The mushroom is still growing, and the small cap can already be seen.

However, there was still no trace of the fruit bats that were the focus of this trip, leaving Lyon disappointed again.

"Hey, Robin, have you eaten yet?"

After leaving the cave, Leon walked up to Robin who was setting up the frame of the chicken coop and said hello.

"Thank you for your concern. I've already eaten." Robin replied while busying himself.

"I want to ask you something. Can you set up a telephone for Red Star Farm?" Lyon asked.

"Of course." Robin nodded with a smile. "I didn't expect you to actually install a landline phone. I thought you young people all preferred mobile phones."

"That thing is too expensive. I can't afford it." Lyon complained when he heard it.

In fact, apart from the black technology, the technological level of this world basically remains around the 90s. Of course, there are mobile phones, but they are not the smart phones that Leon is familiar with. Instead, they are the old-fashioned nine-key brick-version elderly phones, and the minimum price is around 6000G, which is considered a luxury item.

Anyway, Lyon himself is reluctant to buy it.

"Indeed, wired telephones are much cheaper. Laying down the telephone lines and providing landlines only costs 1000G." Robin nodded in agreement.

"1000G is not cheap anymore." Lyon couldn't help but complain after hearing the price.

"That's because this 1000G includes the account opening fee and annual telephone fee package." Robin explained.

"That's fine." Leon understood immediately and asked Robin, "When can it be installed?"

"Wait until I'm done with your chicken coop. I'll come install it for you the day after tomorrow." Robin said, then looked at Leon and asked, "By the way, aren't you curious about the additional improvements I mentioned earlier for your chicken coop?"

"Didn't you say that once the chicken coop was built, I could find it myself?" Leon looked at Robin helplessly and complained.

It's not like Leon hadn't asked before, but Robin just pretended to be mysterious. Now she took the initiative to ask why he wasn't curious. It's true that women's way of thinking is not easy to figure out.

"Okay, it's my problem, but I still want to tell you now." Robin smiled awkwardly and added.

"Actually, I'm planning to add a toilet bowl to your chicken coop. That way, you don't have to clean the feces every day. What do you think? Do you think I'm thoughtful?"

"Oh! That's really thoughtful, but will the chickens really gather in one area to defecate?" Leon was quite satisfied with Robin's overall improvement, but he was a little worried that Robin's defecation pool might not be taken care of by the chickens raised in the chicken coop.

"Have you forgotten what I said about the animals at Marnie's Ranch being very smart? As long as you buy your chickens from Marnie, you don't need to worry about this problem. I've also tried this kind of defecation pool in Marnie's chicken coop. It was very successful and easy to clean," Robin explained.

"Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me?" Lyon couldn't help but complain when he heard that.

After all, Robin had been selling him the baby animals from Marnie's Farm, and kept emphasizing that the animals Marnie raised were very smart. Even the included transformation projects were replicated according to the breeding model of Marnie's Ranch, which had to make Leon suspicious.

"It's not a trick. I really have your back. You probably haven't eaten eggs from Marnie Ranch, otherwise you would understand why I admire the animals there so much." Robin looked at Leon speechlessly and complained.

"What do you mean?" Leon asked curiously. "I won't say anything, lest you think I'm trying to sell you something." Robin lost her temper this time, turning away from Leon and busying herself with the construction of the chicken coop. No matter what Leon said, she chose to ignore him.

Seeing this, Leon could only leave the area in shame, secretly sighing that women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.

After the conversation with Robin, there was no need for Leon to stay on the farm. After all, he had done almost all the work he could do on the farm. So he simply left the farm and went to the coal forest to chop wood.

When dusk fell, Lyon put away his axe and slowly returned to the farm.

After entering the farm, Leon saw from a distance that the main frame of the chicken coop had been built, and Robin was also packing up tools.

"Are you going back?" Leon leaned over and asked.

"Yeah, today's work is over." Robin nodded, then teased Leon: "Why? You still want to invite me to dinner tonight?"

"Sure, would you like some noodles?" Thinking that there was still half a pot of chicken soup left in the morning, Leon didn't want to waste it. And since Robin had this idea, they decided to have some chicken noodle soup together.

"Noodles? Forget it. I've been busy all day and need to eat something good." Robin waved his hands in disgust.

"."

Leon looked at Robin speechlessly, sighing that this middle-aged wife's way of speaking was really direct and she was a straightforward person.

Robin noticed Leon's expression, covered his mouth and chuckled, comforting Leon.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Demetrius and I have already said hello. I'll be back for dinner tonight. It's not that I dislike your noodles. By the way, if you're free, you can come back with me for dinner. I'm sure Demetrius won't mind preparing an extra set of tableware."

"That's not necessary. I'll just have a simple meal." Lyon declined politely upon hearing this. If someone else had invited him, Lyon would have gone with a thick face.

But if the guest is at a family dinner where Demetrius is, then forget it. Leon doesn't want to have a meal and be threatened by someone's eyes.

"Okay, I won't try to persuade you any further. I'll just leave first."

Robin didn't care too much when he heard this. He waved goodbye to Leon and started his journey back through the northern exit of the farm.

Lyon went to the newly built kitchen and cooked himself a big bowl of noodles with the remaining chicken soup.

He ate up all the noodles, soup and chicken, cleaned up the kitchen with a satisfied look on his face, and then went back to the cabin to watch TV.

Recently he discovered a good TV channel. The TV series it broadcasts, "Cowboys of the Prairie Island," is quite to Leon's liking.

Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned and is a traditional story of heroes fighting bullies, Lyon was amazed by the background of the story and the scenery of the filming location.

And if Leon remembered correctly, there was an arcade game called Prairie King's Adventure in the entertainment area of ​​Guts' Stardrop Saloon. The background story of this game was said to be adapted from real events, and it might be a derivative IP of the same TV series.

　I'm a bit busy today, so there might be fewer updates, sorry.
